Blueberry Chutney

This savory blueberry chutney is dairy free. It is excellent with chicken, pork, or tempeh.
Blueberry chutney is also delicious on granola with cream, yogurt, or milk.

Things In My Kitchen:
- Weber Q1200 - this is my grill, y'all. It's pretty & cool, simple, has even & consistent heat, and easy to clean. You can even take the grates off, wipe off quickly, and stick in the dishwasher. It fits 6 strip steaks perfectly and is portable (you have to buy this separate and also an adapter hose) so you can easily take it with you camping.

Wonderful tasty sauce, I used it on pork tenderloin baked in the oven and will definitely do it again.
